Filmstrip Card, Thank You, Male/Female

Hello.

Now... try not to faint...

I'm posting a card today that has nothing to do with Christmas!

This card was made as a favour for my husband and he specifically asked for my Marianne Designs Filmstrip die to be used again... so he can showcase some of his photo's whilst saying 'thanks' to a fellow photography friend.

On the plus side, this gave me a chance to CASE my own design that I had used quite recently but wasn't quite sure I was happy with.

There had been a few glitches along the way that I knew I needed to avoid this time around (TOP TIP... Using Core Dinations worked ok for the Filmstrip until the glue was added for the photo's... then it started curling... so go for thicker cardstock than that and you should be okay).

I also wanted to try and add to the somewhat 'bare' feel that the card had had before.

So this time I've paired up my Kaisercraft Film Edges stamp along with some of the stamps included with the Filmstrip die, used a Darice 'Tattered Page' embossing folder, added three clear Morning Dew Drops and gone for three, rather than two filmstrips.

Hi Donna, brilliant thank you card! great layout for your Hubby`s photos.My tip on top opening cards (they go to craft shows! so are on display) cut your card back and front separate!! Then use on of cut from your card about 2" wide by card width.Score @ 1" and adhere this strip at top opening back and front.. stops the card splaying out when stood..
